History Subject Content Overview: KS1 Kingfisher & Halcyon Way
History Intent: to ensure every child has an opportunity to develop an appreciation and understanding of the past, including an insight about how people around the world used to live and how these interpretations may differ. There will be opportunities to make links between these areas of learning, with the aim of developing engaged, motivated and curious learners that can reflect on the past and make meaningful links to the present day.
Autumn 2: Pupils should be taught yearly about the Key Historical Events: Remembrance Day & Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes) Standalone lessons to be planned in to ensure coverage
History Impact: A successful approach to the teaching and learning of History will ensure that pupils engage in high-quality, hands-on learning which provides them with better foundations for understanding the world around them. Pupils will be encouraged to find out more about past events in their own and others’ lives and will be encouraged to recognise how things change over time.
Engaging lessons will stimulate pupils’ interest in the lives of people who lived in the past as they become curious and excited learners who develop their ability to link key symbols/images/vocabulary with the past. Pupils will learn how to ask inquisitive questions and will grow in confidence when sharing their knowledge and ideas of the past. They will do the latter by reflecting upon their own previous learning and life experiences, personal identity and cultural/historic understanding at immediate, local, national or international level. Pupils’ work and learning experiences (including through cross-curricular approaches e.g. through drama or Computing) will reflect that a range of topics are being covered.
Science Intent: To ensure every child has the opportunity to learn and develop through scientific opportunities and experiments.
Science Impact: The successful approach to the teaching of Science will result in children engaging in high quality, hands on learning sessions which will provide them with the foundations of understanding the world around them. Children will be curious and ask inquisitive questions, using simple scientific language to talk about what they have found out as they have a deeper understanding of scientific ideas.
